For example, there must be some study showing a comparison between simple chest compressions and the use of AEDs.

Interestingly, there's a report on another website about TV that Captain Lazenby saved a parishioner at his church by using chest compressions and an AED. The man was transported to a hospital and is now recovering at home.
BTW, the article indicates the AED was provided to the church by Capt. Lazenby at his own expense.
